	Go for it; the "xpi" file is actually just a Zip archive and the
	contents should all be readable text.

	I've been using it since it was originally announced' I've never
	had cause to question its safety.  It operates fine and has no
	conflicts with any other add-on I use.  There was a one-time
	problem with https redirects to wikipedia but that has long
	since been corrected.

	It's not yet a 1.0 release; this may have something to do with
	it.

	Everyone should be using it.  Spread the word.
